Finally got to see the sacristy of São Roque in Lisbon with paintings by André Reinoso of the life of St. Francis Xavier (1619). (To be honest, mostly came for the painting of the friendly crab bringing the saint his crucifix back from the ocean.)

Most of Lisbon was destroyed in a massive earthquake on November 1st, 1755. This anonymous painting, probably from the 17th century, is the sole surviving image of Lisbon’s major thoroughfare, Rua Nova dos Mercadores, from before the quake (Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire)

If they can’t be in front of the actual object, it seems like just having a digital image, Smarthistory style, would be preferable to this weirdness

the fuck of it is that PSU is a *poor* university. it's not a rich ivy or a land grant university, it's a broke-ass access university that's going through the same enrollment decline and loss of revenue everyone else is. adding this to the equation tangibly hurts the students on many diff levels.

There was a gap of months with no access to services. There is still no access to books. The university has a no library. Why not occupy a center of power? The president's office? An administration building? Why the books?

Unlike the schools you list in your bio, our student are poor--a surprising number on the verge of homelessness--and this closure disproportionately impacts the lowest income students, who relied on it for checking out laptops, calculator, or simply a space to be.

My apologies. I meant "damage" and "force the closure of." Now I bet you'll be civil! Or maybe being pedantic about word choice wasn't actually your point?

No investments in Boeing. There were some engineering scholarships sponsored by them but they were suspended, even before the library was occupied. If you're going to be a keyboard warrior thousands of miles away, at least make a more convincing effort
